Pine County Oil.
Special to the Globe.

PINE CITY, Mach 24.-It would no
doubt surprise the people of Minnesota
were they to wake up some morning and
find pipe lines running into the Twin
Cities from Pine county and the state
lighted with native oil. At Rock creek, in
Pine county. there has long been quantities
of crude oil floating on the top of the dead
water at different points on the creek.
Capt. Enoch Horton, a gentleman who has
long resided there, has observed it for the
past fifteen years. and has at different times
called the attention of visitors to the fact.
The oil has the same appearance as that
which for long time fiOated unheeded on
the surface of Oil creek, Pa, and there is
no doubt there are millions of barrels of oil
buried beneath the rugged soil OF Pine
county.
